Santa Pur-suit 2026
Santa Pur-suit 2026 is the 13th annual costumed run held on November 21, 2026 in Kitchener at Weber Street South and Erb Street East. The run takes place along part of the parade route ahead of the Kitchener-Waterloo Santa Claus Parade.
Distances offered:
- 3 km includes a full Santa suit and a finisher medal.
- 1 km untimed fun run includes a full Santa suit and a finisher medal.
- Future Runner (Elf in Stroller) is free; strollers and passengers must be registered and accompanied by a participant in a different sub-event.
Each participant will receive a full Santa suit consisting of a jacket, pants, hat, beard and belt. The full suit must be worn during the event; participants not wearing the complete suit will be removed from participation without refund.
